Coney Island

Here are some more pictures [and moving pictures] while i'm on a roll, from my trip to Coney Island with Ched.

People were still on the beach when we arrived


sleeping


queuing for the shower.




though Beer Island looked already deserted.




Before long the wind was gathering force
[vid should appear, blogger seems a bit slow to load....]






and the evacuation began








It got pretty wet.


The sandwich boards were dancing and racing across the boardwalk, driven by the rain and wind.


We took refuge in the warmth and friendly shelter of a clam bar, ate sausage and watched the rain.


['nother vid]











Once the weather eased off a bit, we meandered around the streets and through an arcade where the Tunnel of Horror was closed



but there were other entertainments








And then we headed back to the station,

through the puddles,





leaving it all behind, wet but warm, tired and happy
